Venting aftermath

[Aleksandra]

i don't feel okay at all. i get discharged from hospital after a month and a bit, get put on pills and i still have to wait a year for therapy. on top of that, i've not eaten for about a week now. i have been put on another year's waiting list for a court herring for benefits as i moved out of my old city. i cant even go to food banks because a lot of the food they offer i'm allergic to. yet i'm being told i'm being spoilt because i can't eat food i'm allergic to. my meds make me feel physically ill and all i want to do is cry myself to sleep every night. i fucking hate that i'm being told to be grateful for my life being saved and for what? for me to literally starve and have no money to help fix that? for the government to fuck me over once again when i need help? i'm broken, i'm completely broken and all i want is a fucking hug from my mama but she doesn't love me. i haven't posted in a bit and i needed this out, im so sad.

I hear you and how much pain you are in.

That sounds devastating and I totally get it.

i so desperately wanted to give life another chance but i am struggling so bad. it's not as easy as finding a job as no one wants me and i've applied for over hundreds since i moved out of my old city. my ex used to be someone i could fall back on if i financially needed it as we lived together. now i'm all alone and the world is a lot darker

Welcome to the UK. Where the government treats the mentally ill as the lowest of the low and expect us to live off pennies until we 'sort ourselves out' and get back to work.

I ended up having to take dwp to court to get my pip. I won but it's only the lowest rate, which is still wrong. Standing in front of a judge and everything. It's disgusting. You have a long way to go to get it. Fingers crossed it's easier for you.

On the plus side, they have to back date payment. So if you win, you'll get a good couple of grand. Although I spent mine in 2 months, oops.

Here if you need, duckling. Any day I might have to drink goodbye, but kicking around still.

Sad to hear your plight. Really not fair you do your best and get no real help at all. Can't offer any practical help but you have people here that will at least listen for whatever that is worth.

I didn't even have to have a face to face meeting with the PIP assessors, it was awarded within 2 or so months? I don't understand all these people struggling for it? I got a mental health worker to fill in the forms which went in in Mid July, Mid Sept it was awarded with no questions from me? It was then backdate too May when I got the forms, so yea back pay was decent, all spent quickly though :P

Sorry that you have had those problems.

I had that about 6 years ago on a benefit as I applied for something (can't remember which now) application got denied, went to court there lost, reapplied for the same thing, again application gets denied and back at court overturned the decision. I mean wished they did that the first time.
